Royal Arms of Portugal (Portugal) (Coat of Arms) Sticker - Design Description

This vibrant sticker showcases the iconic Royal Arms of Portugal, a heraldic emblem steeped in history and symbolism. The design is a miniature representation of Portugal's national identity, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of its rich heritage.

Central Shield and Symbolism

At the heart of the design is the white shield, or "argent," displaying five smaller blue shields, known as "escutcheons," arranged in a cross formation. Each of these blue shields features five small white dots, or "bezants," meticulously positioned in a saltire pattern (X-shape). These elements symbolize the five Moorish kings defeated by King Afonso I, with the dots representing the Five Holy Wounds of Christ, reflecting faith and divine assistance.

Red Bordure and the Reconquista

Encircling the central shield is a striking red border, or "bordure," adorned with seven gold castles. This border represents the fortresses built during the Christian Reconquista, specifically the seven castles in the Algarve region, signifying the completion of this significant historical period.

Armillary Sphere and Exploration

Behind the central shield, and adding a layer of depth to the design, is a golden armillary sphere. This navigational instrument is a potent symbol of Portugal's pivotal role in the Age of Discovery, representing maritime exploration and the nation's groundbreaking navigational achievements.

The overall composition beautifully captures the essence of the Lesser Coat of Arms, a powerful visual representation of Portugal's history, Christian heritage, and maritime legacy. The design evokes a sense of national pride and reflects the enduring spirit of the nation.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
